They are not unit drive planters (power to the units come off the driveshaft that runs by chain from the lift wheel), so I don"t think it"s worth the trouble. Conversions were being sold on eBay, but not sure if the guy used 494 common-drive units or if he was using #80 press-wheel-drive units.

They looked to me like 494 units with the 2 outer units cut off, still a trailer planter with hyd cylinder. _Not_ 3pt. The carrier wheels are used to meter seed, so converting to a 3pt would be some work, as you say.

The 71 planter units are more typically sey up for 3pt 2 row planters, as they are self-powered by the press wheel as you say.
